Operative words

Island Reopening Plan Revised to Align with NY Phase 4 Reopening Modifications... [Liberty Island] will partially reopen Monday, July 20. Ellis Island will remain closed as will the museums [and the pedestal and crown]. 'When we were notified that museums were excluded from Phase 4 of the state's [reopening plan, we revised the plan].'

Enforcement

36 C.F.R. 1.5

Notes

The NPS revised a federal reopening plan because New York's Phase 4 order excluded museums: a federal-State counterparty chain in one document.

Retrieval note

Later reopening steps (Aug. 20, 2020 museums; July 1, 2021 pedestal) are from the park's RSS feed titles and are verified_secondary.
